Ingredients:

• 6 ripe peaches, peeled, pitted, and diced
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup bourbon
• 1 lemon, juiced and zested
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

Diced peaches, brown sugar, bourbon, lemon zest, juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a dash of salt should all be combined in a big saucepan

Over medium-high heat, bring the mixture to a boil while stirring from time to time

After it comes to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the peaches are tender and the mixture thickens to the consistency of jam

To keep things from sticking and burning, stir periodically

After taking the saucepan off of the burner, allow the jam to cool slightly

Fill sterilized jars with the bourbon poached peach jam, leaving a 1/4-inch headspace at the top of each jar

To ensure proper sealing, seal the jars with lids and rings and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes

The jars should be processed, then taken out of the water bath and allowed to cool to room temperature

Keep the jam somewhere cold and dark

As it cools, it will get thicker still
